Omosh is broke and so are the Kakamega twins, shuffled by a drunk nurse, at birth
To begin with, upto 30% of Kenyans live in chronic poverty, barely able to afford basics, and so, its shouldn't be news that any one is broke. Millions are
Who is Omosh? He is/was a star character in Tahidi (or is is Jitahidi) High, a local soap opera, showing in citizen TV. I always advised my children not to watch such useless programs, which will make them think delinquency is trendy, but that not important here
What's paramount is the said Omosh ought to have made hay while the sun shone. He ought to have spent whatever little pay he made from the acting to provide for himself and save for the winter, which was/is sure to succeed every summer
If he was acting for free, as a missionary, he ought not to have taken the task, knowing he has bills to pay
Appearing on TV isn't an immunity from poverty, and shouldn't get into someone's head, make them spend a fortune living lavishly, beyond their means and make them forget to save for the future. One is only allowed to be broke when the sun refuses to shine in your life, but if you make good money, you'd be stupid to end up a beggar
For the Kakamega twins, it is a different story. The media made the ladies think they were "celeb" and so life would treat them differently, just because the country talked about them, but that wasn't the case. There is nothing special in being twins
Even when everyone wanted a piece of them, their future still depended on their efforts in class as "twinship" or having been shuffled by careless nurses at a hospital doesn't come with a pay or allowances. The media over-did the thing forgeting that these are youngsters who may not need so much exposure at this time, until when they will be done with schooling
The challenges they say they are facing is what million other children face, only that no one has given them a microphone or a camera nor basically an opportunity to enumerate them!
Good morning my fellow Hoof-Eaters!!
